Paul,

When a the operating system responds that a process is "Killed",
typical causes are:
1) You do not have available memory

   Check to make sure you don'tr have "gplt" or device drivers
   running that are using your memory. Use "cleanup" command to
   remove message queues and gplt processes that have been orphaned.

2) If you have a previous version of GEMPAK installed, make sure that
   your path is pointing to the current distribution, and your old
   gplt processes were exited.
